A Snowy Birthday

Well, apparently I am the only one still working my way through Winter themed cards and such.  I guess I better get these all out and start on my Valentine’s projects.  I guess never read my blog for the latest ideas on an upcoming holiday.  You’ll be behind as much as me!  I just hate to waste a good project just because I’m a slacker.  ^__^

Once again I made a birthday card using SVG Cuts Winter’s Chill set. I know this isn’t really a mom-type birthday card but I wanted to make this one as soon as I saw it.  I think my mom will like it regardless.  At least I actually sent it on time this year.

I tried to keep the colors pretty monochromatic and chilly looking.  I used various colors of card stock from Recollections solid stacks.

Ribbon is also from the inexpensive Recollections brand.  Viva Decor pen in Pearl for the white and Beads in a Bottle for the blue embellishment.

More of my favorite embellishment –  Trendy Twine completes the band on the mitten.  The color is one of my favorites that Lesley makes, it’s called Sky.  It is a natural off-white with a soft blue.  Very vintage looking.

You’ve probably stopped reading by now but I will let you know anyway. The sentiment is two My Thoughts Exactly stamp sets (see, I told you they can be mixed and matched!) – Sweet Thoughts with Holly Jolly Phrases.  I curved the “birthday” myself, it doesn’t come like that.

I promise, no more cards from Winter’s Chill for at least a few weeks.  LOL  Have a great week and don’t forget about the giveaway right here on my blog.  You have till Friday, January 20th to enter!
